A COUNTY POOH F4RM


When it is known that Barber county
paid out, during the year 1886, for the
support of paupers. 81 .2l5, and that it
paid, during the first three quarters of
1887, for the same purpose, 81 900, tax
payers will not wonder that there is a
growing demand that the county pur-
chase and maintain poor farm.
Under the present arrangement the
dependent poor are scattered all over
the county. They are being taken care
of by individuals, at heavy expense TO
the county, and there is always dissat-
isfactiOn among the dependents and
among the keepers.
An effolt will be made at once to in
duce the county commissioners to call
an election. that the people may have
the opportunity of voting on the ques-
ton OF buying poor farm, and the fol-
lowing petition will be circulated at
once:
To The Honorable Board OF County Com
misS,oncrs Of Bdrber County, Kansas:
The undersigned petitioners, legal
and qualified voters of Barber county,
Kansas, respectfully ask that your hon
Orable body call an election in said
county, that vote may be taken upon
the question of purchasing land and
erecting buildings thereon for the poor.
In accordance with the provisions of
section jl7 of the general statutes of
1888; provided, the amount to be ex-
pended for such poor farm and build
ings does not exceed eight thousand
dollars.

"The goodness and mercy of God.
which has followed the American peo-
pie during all the days of the past year

earth has yielded a generous return to
the labor of the husbandman, and ev-
cry path of honest toll has led to com.
fort aud contentment. by His loving
Kindness the hearts of our people have
been replenished with fraternal senti-
ment and patriotic endeayor, and by
His unerring guidance, We have been
directed i'm the way of national pros
perity. To the end that we. with one
accord, testify our gratitude for all

hereby designate and set apart Thurs
day, the twenty-fOurth day OF Novem-
Der next, as day of Thanksgiving and
prayer, to be observed by all the peo
pie of the land. On that day, let secu-
lar work and employment be suspend
ed, and let our people assemble in their
accustomed places of worship, and with
prayer and songs of praise give thanks
to our Heavenly Father FOL all that he
has done for us, while We bumbly inn
plore the forgiveness of our sins and a
continuance of His mercy. Let fami-
Lies and kindred be united on that day,
and let their hearts, filed with kindly
cheer and effeetionate "reminiscences,
be turned in thankfGlnes to the source
of all their pleasures, and che Giver of
all that makes tie day glad and joyous.
And in the midst OF our pleasure and
our happiness let us remember the poor
and the needy and the unfortunate: and
by our gifts of charity and ready be-
nevolence, let ms increase the number
Of those who, with ready hearts, shall
join In our Thanksgiving"
